It's a shame there's no official PICO-8 runtime for any of those little devices, last time I checked compatibility was a bit spotty from the open-sourced reimplementations. Things have probably gotten better on that front since I last looked though.
This thing supports a Raspberry Pi compute module so I assume it will run the Pi version of PICO-8.

JELOS on the Anbernics can run the official Raspberry Pi version of PICO-8 fine. Agree with the reimplementations not being as good.

Ah, yeah, I was thinking more the ye olde OpenDingux handhelds running on the venerable JZ4770 etc.
There are a bunch of Chinese handhelds that people use for emulation, some of which can run PICO 8 games.
My Anbernic RG351V does it but I don’t think it came with the stock OS, requires some tinkering.
Anyways, there is already a small market for handheld “fantasy console” players that might respond positively to the open nature of the clockwork pi devices.
